Brit Cancer Survivor Fined for Providing Rides to Hospital Patients

GOVERNMENT IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR THE THINGS WE CHOOSE TO DO TOGETHER:

Cancer Survivor Fined $2,260 for Providing Rides to Hospital Patients: Hospital describes her services as “invaluable.”

For more than three years, the cancer survivor—an unnamed woman—served outpatients at St. Joseph’s Hospital, offering round-trip rides for those in need. Despite years of successful work and those in the hospital calling her a “critical volunteer,” her charitable operation was shut down after being a target of a police sting operation.


Tommy says no comment.

The London police can’t handle the acid attacks or the rape gangs, but they’ve got the resources to mount a sting operation against volunteers who drive sick people to the hostpital. But that’s how it works: The worse the authorities are at dealing with actual bad people, the more they crack down on good people so it looks like they’re doing something.

Did you even read the article or just read the title? It's in London Ontario, not London England.

You're confusing the two Londons.

Did you even read the two times in this thread that it’s been pointed out a correction was issued as the article DIDNT originally make it clear they were referring to Canada?
 
All you tearing weather apart, when the story had changed, DIDYOU SEE a correction to the story was made, that it was not London, England, but London, Ontario, AFTER he posted the story? When he posted it, he did not know, and it was about the simple idea a govt would issue citations, or anything for someone ferrying people to cancer treatments, is ludicrous!
Dragon lady, thanks for letting us know people have gathered round them, but IT STILL happened!

Geeeesh, some people!

I’m with by-law enforcement here. The potential for abuse is strong. There are rides available through the Cancer Society - a volunteer organization. She could have joined.
 
Lol !!

Those Canadian bastards need to get their priorities right. As does the lying bastard OP.
Nevertheless, London, England needs to deal with their acid attacks and gang rapes by deporting all those young Muslim males pouring into the city.
London police are too busy arresting Canadians.

The story quotes a Canadian paper. It's not difficult.

Exactly!

The OP probably didn't even know there was a London in Canada.

What that person was doing is illegal, regardless of how well intentioned. You need to have a license to transport people for pay. It's a money grab for the city but the fact still remains, you have to get a license. That law is the same in cities throughout the US. This is a big non-issue.
`

Wrong.
The city could have chosen to order her to cease until she gets a chauffeur license.
But instead they fined her $2260.
That is the issue. I would agree with telling her she needs to stop and go get the appropriate license which she could do in a day. But they chose to be soulless bureaucrats instead.

The city policy is to issue a warning before ticketing. But this woman wasn’t warned, they just charged her. The Councillor quoted was looking into why that happened.

Probably because she forgot to call him sir.
